"Another pose Jea and Dylan. Okay, that's nice just stay in that position" instruct ng photographer habang kinukunan kami para sa photoshoot namin.

Nakaupo siya sa isang wooden square block habang nasa sahig ako, my arms on his thigh.

Biglang bumukas ang pintuan at pumasok si Elmo sa studio in all his manly demeanor.

He's wearing a white polo, tucked in his black fitted jeans.

He's the only CEO I've known who had a sensible taste for fashion.

I almost choke my breath when he gave me an appealing smile.

He seemed to be in a good mood today.

He crossed his arms across his chest as he fascinatingly watches our photoshoot.

His mere presence is enough to distract me.

With all might, I tried to ignore his intense stare following my every actions.

"Let's take a short break everyone" sigaw ng photographer namin.

Nakangiti akong lumapit kay Elmo, totally ignoring Dylan who's calling me.

"Hey" nakangiti niyang bati sa'kin ng nasa harap na niya ako.

"Hey" I greeted him with a smile. "So what brings you here Mr. CEO?"

He ushered me to the sofa and we both sat down. "Well, just checking how's the photoshoot going on"

Awww, akala ko pa naman ng dahil sa'kin

Nadismaya kong isip.

Yesterday gave me a bit of hope that maybe attracted si Elmo sa'kin.

Zia might be telling the truth, he only sees me an asset to his company that could bring him profit.

After all, he's a businessman and businessmen always thinks of profit. Kaya nga pakakasalan niya si Chai di'ba? Para sa business.

"And....to see you" mahinang bulong niya habang nakatingin sa'kin.

Biglang nablangko ang isip ko at paulit-ulit na nag echo sa isip ko ang sinabi niya.

And to see you.

And to see you.

And to see you.

When his words finally sinked in, I can't help but cheekily gush over him.

I may looked like an idiot smiling from ear to ear to him right now but I don't really care about that at this moment.

Simpleng banat lang ni Mr. CEO pero nakakaya nitong paluksuin ang puso ko.

"To see me?" nakangiti kong tanong sa kanya.

He gave me a small shy smile. "Yeah" tipid niyang sagot, piercing me with his brown eyes.

"I'm flattered" I honestly answered.

Then there's an awkward silence between us.

"So, how's your wound?" tanong ko sa kanya, I pulled his chin towards me and checked his wound.

"Healed. Thanks to the beautiful nurse who treated me" nakangisi niyang wika sa'kin.

I chuckled. "So you find me beautiful then Mr. CEO?"

He grinned. "Of course, bulag lang ang magsasabing hindi ka maganda Ms. Salvador"

And now we're back to Ms. Salvador again.
